Visual Studio 2022 support for X# (experimental)

: 01 December 2021

We have uploaded a first version of our support for Visual Studio 2022. This also includes support for packagereferences inside the project file.

Known issue: the intellisense engine does not yet include the assemblies that are listed inside a nuget package.

For example: if you have a Console application and remove all references and replace that with a Nuget Package reference for System.Runtime then that project will compile and run, but the editor will not be able to show tooltips, code completion etc for types like System.String, System.Console etc.

You can find this installer here:

We have recorded this item in cooperation with Oliver Gr├╝n, from Gr├╝n Software Group from Aachen, Germany and some of the employees of his company.
